Tillamook City, Ore.,
February 11, 1904.
In order to set at rest certain idle talk
concerning the liability of the bondsmen
of the late Sheriff Alderman, I wish to
state through your paper that when at
the request of Mrs. Alderman the bonds
men recently met at the law office of
Eddv & Botts. I made a few preliminary
remarks to them, in the course of which
I stated that while I had not personally
investigated the matter, mv impression
was that most of the bondsmen were
more scared than hurt, for the reason
that those who had signed only the
ordinary official bonds as Sheriff and
not the tax collector's bonds would not
he liable as the law stood prior to the
act of 1901. I advised them to investi­
gate for themselves and learn just what
their liability was ; that I was merely
attorney for Mrs. Alderman and not re­
presenting either the county or the
bondsmen. After the meeting broke up,
Mr. B. H. Hatha wav, a bondsmen,
brought into the office a statement
showing the amounts and years of the
shot tage, and I advised Mr. Hathaway
and others interested that if that state
ment was correct, then the bondsmen
were only liable tor about $1680. This
is the whole history of the famous ad­
vice given by Eddy & Botts to the
bondsmen. What offense there could be
in telling the bondsmen the truth, I am
at a loss to know, unless there are those
in the community who were interested
in keeping the bondsmen in the dark in
order to profit at their expense
I understand, also, that the statement
has been circulated from certain quarters
that Mrs. Alderman will not pay the
county except so far as necessary to pro.
tec I the bondsmen. Mrs. Aiderman has
repeatedly stated that every dollar found
to be due after a careful examination of
the books would be paid, whether it be
to the countv <>r the bondsmen. She took
this position voluntairlv from the begin­
ning and lias consistently adhered to it
ever since. It would seem that malice
might hold its clamoring tongue for a
season, and permit a deeply stricken and
suffering women to carry out in peace a
purpose suggested solely by her own
sense of honor.

Mr. Aiderman’s Shortage.
TO THE EDITOR OF TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT
It seems that a few pertinent remarks
concerning the allege»! shortage in the
late sheriff’s office are in place. Those
who knew the late H. II. Aiderman are
not going to believe that he was guilty of
any wrong doing in the matter in the
face of their knowledge ot a man who was
with them daily fur the last seven years,
and who was honest to a degree in his
dealings with everyone, It does seem
strange that none of our newspapers in
this county seems to have giveu such a
man the benefit of a doubt, when in other
counties shortages are continually found
(as for example, last week in the case of
the sheriff of Multnomah county). Per­
sons said to be at fault usually protest
vigorously, and very little comment on
the subject i9 made, either by news­
papers or others; and now that Mi.
Alderman is not here to defend himself
it seems must uncharitable to say the
least, not to look at the matter from all
sides.
Mr. Alderman did not leave any such
sum as is reported in the shortage, and it
is well known that he did not speculate,
live extravagantly, gamble, nor was he
a hanger on at saloons as are many of his
traducers ; and as neither he nor his
family has ever had the benefit of the
money the question naturally arises in
the minds of all as to wnat became of it.
Within a few weeks of his tragic death
he told his wife and some others that he
feared a plot against him by his enemies;
that his receipt books were all burned
and he had no way to prove anything.
At the last when he learned that the
shortage was alleged he said that although
he did not know how it could be he
would try to pay it to the last cent in
order that bis bondsmen should not
suffer.
He was just recovering from a severe
illness and was too weak physically to re­
sist the despondency that overcame him.
He had a few fair-weather friends, but
most of his friends are loyal and think
that this simple statement of facts should
be made.

Kent county.
The boat is building
within a lew feel of the public road, «t il
many of the original limbers bme
rotted away during the tedious con­
tinuance of the work. About 15 years
ago. says the Baltimore Sun. Cap«. A.
Judson, a uimu wlio hud “goue down tc
the sea in ships” for many years, cuiiit
to Kent and opened a store. After mer­
chandising for a short time he bough:
a pretty little home near the village oi
Pomona and started.a sawmill. Finally
tlieohl sailorconveived the idea of build­
ing his yacht. The keel was laid, the
ribs slowly assumed position, and win­
ter and summer the work dragged on.
Years passed. The first timbers began
to decay, and before the completion ot
one part the timbers were of necessity
replaced by new. and yet the pet scheme
was not abandoned, and now the dry
land ship is nearing completion. Tht
yacht is to be 75 feet in length. 11 feet
beam and 6 feet hold. She will be pro­
pelled by steam, and. the captain says,
will turn off 2») miles an hour. A cabi:
45 feet in length will be built and filled
up for a long cruise, the intention of
the captain being to revisit many scenes
of his early sailor life.
'Hie puzzlfng

is expected that the launch will be

THE PASS-ON SHAKE.

“There are various kinds of hanu-
shakes,” said Mr. Gozzleby, according
to the New York Sun. “among them

receptions and one place and anather

in front gives signs of being a stayer,
the man receiving shakes bands with
him heartily and says:
“‘Why, my dear sir. I am delighted
to see you.’ He imparts to his hand at
the same time, with what grace and
skill and tact he can command, a slight
sidewise motion, in the direction in
which the line is moving. This is the
pass-on shake.
“I got it once in church. Passing
